Former NYC club hostess Rachel Uchitel, who says her “whole life has changed” by her newfound fame, has landed a job on TV.
The first woman in a series of names linked to Tiger Woods will be a correspondent for syndicated entertainment show Extra, UsMagazine reports.
“A very special episode of ‘The Hot List’ airs this coming weekend on Extra Weekend, including Rachel Uchitel as “Extra’s” ‘ultimate insider,’ who will report on what’s hot in Hollywood on this week’s episode,” a show rep told Us.
Uchitel, 34, recently sat down with Extra, telling host Mario Lopez she is unsure of what her future holds.
“I don’t know what I’m doing next week, much less 10 years,” she said. “So I don’t know. My whole life has changed.”
Tom Cruise is starring in another impossible mission.
Paramount Pictures announced Tuesday that Cruise will be back in front of the camera for “Mission: Impossible IV,” due in theaters over Memorial Day weekend in 2011.
Cruise and “Mission: Impossible III” director J.J. Abrams previously agreed to produce a fourth movie in the action franchise. But it had not been known if Cruise would star again.
Abrams will stick to producing this time, with the search on for a director to shoot the new installment. Josh Applebaum and Andre Nemec are writing the script, based on a story idea from Cruise and Abrams.
The movie reunites Cruise and Paramount, which cut the actor loose from a long-term development deal in 2006.
The fashion world has turned upside down this year, it seems. On the one hand, a designer says he doesn’t want any celebrities at his upcoming; on the other hand, Lindsay Lohan appears to have gotten religion.
Marc Jacobs‘ fashion show is considered one of the biggest scenes in New York, but that’s all changing this year.
“I’m not into the celebrity thing … like we used to,” he told Style magazine. “That’s boring . . . We’re not going to have celebrities. Last season, we had two celebrities … one because Lady Gaga was doing our party, and she didn’t even make it to her seat because we started the show be fore she got there.
“And one was Madonna. She came backstage, and I was like, ‘What do you do with her now?’ Because it’s not like she was invited. She just called and said she was coming, and we weren’t holding the show for her. She just came, and that was it. There are certain things I can’t control.”
Jacobs adds, “We used to have all the celebrities and people there, and I think that at that moment in time, that’s what people loved. It generated so much press and at a certain point it was like, ‘Did anybody actually watch the show?’ “
Lohan, meanwhile, may not have actually gotten religion, but she’s posing as Jesus Christ on the cross.
The actress was photographed by Gucci photographer Terry Richardson wearing a plunging white robe and a crown of thorns with outstretched arms for the cover of the French fashion magazine Purple.
Inside, Lohan, 23, dons clothes by Ungaro, as well as designers Zac Posen and Alexander McQueen.
Lohan has taken to the fashion scene bigtime, working as the artistic director for designer Emmanuel Ungaro last year.
Alan Alda doesn’t sound too upset about losing the record for biggest TV audience to the New Orleans Saints for their Super Bowl victory over the Indianapolis Colts.
“If they broke our record, I’m happy for New Orleans, and I hope it gives even more to cheer about to a city I love,” Alda said.
CBS’s coverage of the Super Bowl garnered 106.5 million viewers, just barely outdoing the 106 million enjoyed by the 1983 finale of “MASH.”
Wayne Rogers, who played Trapper John for three seasons on “MASH,” said while the Super Bowl numbers were big, “MASH” is still the more lucrative deal.
“That Super Bowl is never going to earn what “MASH” earned that’s for sure, because there’s no reruns for that Super Bowl,” Rogers told Fox Business Network.
